Method
Trim the mushroom stems and wipe the caps clean with a damp paper towel; pat dry thoroughly with another paper towel.
Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, slice the mushrooms lengthwise into paper-thin sheets (approximately 2mm thick) and arrange on a cold serving plate.
Slice the roasted beetroot into paper-thin sheets using the same mandoline or sharp knife, and layer carefully over the mushroom slices.
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and capers in a small bowl until combined.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the mushroom and beetroot layers.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Garnish with fresh microgreens and a drizzle of truffle oil if desired, then finish with a pinch of fleur de sel before serving immediately.
